Nova Scotia's Trades Sector Performance

We were only able to collect 11 indicators for Trades Sector performance and no reliable provincial cost data was available. We did not feel it appropriate to compute an aggregate score with such sparse data, and highlight that an important area for improvement is reliable reporting of statistics pertaining to the training of journeypersons in Canada. We do welcome visitors to visit provincial pages to explore indicator-level results.
